• Prepare and respond to written discovery, coordinate client input for verified responses, and address disputes related to document production and interrogatories.

• Draft substantive legal documents such as demand letters, meet-and-confer correspondence, discovery motions, mediation briefs, complaints, subpoenas, and deposition notices.

• Represent clients at hearings and support case advancement through strong advocacy in motion practice and other court appearances.

• Defend plaintiff depositions and, with increased independence over time, take depositions, participate in mediations, and handle settlement discussions.

• Monitor litigation calendars closely to ensure compliance with discovery obligations, court deadlines, and trial preparation requirements.

• Record time accurately and contemporaneously to support fee recovery in matters involving statutory attorneys’ fees.


Qualifications:
